Etna Summit & Cellar Day
A private-feeling day across Etna's lava paths, volcanic farms, and a slow cellar tasting.
Aeolian Islands / Boat, volcano
A Lipari and Vulcano sea day with black-sand coastlines, mineral water, and optional evening Stromboli routing.
A refined island day that translates the Aeolian archipelago into one clear itinerary: hydrofoil timing, boat route, swim stops, lunch, and a safe return plan.
May through October, with September a favorite for warm water and calmer crowds.
Stromboli evening routes require a longer day and strict sea conditions.
